What can “EVE Online” teach us about the American Revolution?

How can “Deus Ex” illustrate the challenges of unchecked technological development?

In which way can “Democracy 3” let us explore the complexity of the Greek debt-crisis?

Can “Game of Thrones” put a face on the threat of climate change?

Are games just trivial entertainment? Or are they a primary medium for teaching a new generation about the world around them? Dr. Tomas Rawlings applies these questions to the history, the emotions and mechanics of democracy.

He effortlessly demonstrates how the interactivity of games can give the player a deeper understanding of how democracy works, not only in an emotional way, but also closer to the mechanics of power and society than traditional media.

He reflects on a few major challenges facing democracy today and discusses different ways in which the gaming-culture can be a part of resolving these issues.
